How Far I'll Go Lyrics

I've been staring at the edge of the water
Long as I can remember, never really knowing why
I wish I could be the perfect daughter

    TAlessia Cara sings Moana's song. On the Disney side of things it's the flip side to Belle's song in Beauty and the Beast. Belle is about how the town is too small. How Far I'll Go is about the depth and the beauty and the greatness of what's out there to be discovered - no one knows how far it goes. On the Alessia Cara side, How Far I'll Go is a perfect companion to Here. The disgust with her world is part of the yearning she feels for something more. What's bad isn't worth it. What's good isn't enough. She wants more that her world has to offer. We all do. Some people bury it - everybody on this island has a role - because accepting that yearning is painful. It's hard to be called somewhere you can't go - every turn I take, every trail I track, every path I make, every road leads back to the place I know, where I can not go, though I long to. But if you don't kill it, if you follow it, there's no telling how far you'll go into the beauty of that dream. We're made for the line where the sea meets the sky
